Sounds Like Fun Concerts

2011 SOUNDS LIKE FUN!
GOTTA DANCE!

This summer the Houston Symphony continues its commitment to community through its annual Sounds Like Fun! series. With free performances given at a variety of locations throughout Houston, these concerts are a relaxed and dynamic experience designed for the whole family.
